PENDAHULUAN

1.1 Latar Belakang


Obat-obatan yang telah dijual di pasaran memiliki beragam bentuk sediaan, sesuai
dengan penggunaan obat tersebut. Beberapa obat diperuntukkan untuk pengobatan
penyakit pada organ khusus, misalnya salep mata. Obat yang diformulasikan dalam bentuk
salep memiliki kandungan dan kadar zat aktif tertentu dalam sejumlah basis yang telah
ditetapkan. Suatu obat mengindikasikan suatu penyakit tertentu, sehingga perlu adanya
pengujian dan konfirmasi yang memastikan jumlah dan dosis obat tertentu hingga obat
tersebut dapat memberikan efek farmakologis yang diinginkan.
Praktikum kali ini dilakukan untuk mengkonfirmasi kesesuaian kandungan dan kadar
kloramfenikol dalam sampel salep mata dengan persyaratan yang telah ditentukan. Salep
mata koramfenikol adalah sediaan steril yang mengandung kloramfenikol dalam basis salep
yang cocok. Kloramfenikol adalah obat yang digunakan untuk mengobati infeksi bakteri
pada mata. Kloramfenikol adalah antibiotik yang bekerja dengan menghentikan
pertumbuhan bakteri. Obat ini hanya mengobati infeksi bakteri pada mata, dan tidak akan
efektif pada jenis infeksi mata lainnya.
Cara mengkonfirmasi kesesuaian kandungan dan kadar obat kloramfenikol adalah
dengan menggunakan metode spektrofotometri. Langkah-langkah yang dilakukan untuk
mengkonfirmasi kandungan dan kadar kloramfenikol dengan menggunakan
spektrofotometri adalah melalui proses identifikasi kloramfenikol, pembuatan kurva
kalibrasi kloramfenikol baku, verifikasi metode melalui parameter akurasi dan presisi, serta
penetapan kadar kloramfenikol dalam sampel salep mata.

1.2 Tujuan Praktikum


Tujuan praktikum adalah untuk mengkonfirmasi kesesuaian kandungan dan kadar
kloramfenikol dalam sampel salep mata dengan persyaratan yang telah ditentukan.
Persyaratan tablet kuinin sulfat adalah mengandung kloramfenikol (C11H12Cl2N2O2), tidak
kurang dari 95,0% dan tidak lebih dari 105,0% dari jumlah yang tertera pada etiket.

TINJAUAN PUSTAKA

2.1 Spektrofotometri UV-Vis


Spektroskopi merupakan ilmu yang mempelajari interaksi antara radiasi dan benda
sebagai suatu fungsi panjang gelombang dengan menggunakan instrumen yang disebut
spektrometer. Jadi spektroskopi adalah secara teori istilah atau nama yang digunakan untuk
ilmu yang mempelajari tentang hubungan antara radiasi/energi/sinar (yang memiliki fungsi
panjang gelombang, yang biasa disebut frekuensi) dengan benda.
Spektrofotometer terdiri atas spektrometer dan fotometer. Spektrometer menghasilkan
sinar dari spektrum dengan panjang gelombang tertentu dan fotometer adalah alat pengukur
intensitas cahaya yang di transmisikan atau yang diabsorpsi. Spektrofotometri merupakan
teknik pengukuran jumlah zat yang berdasarkan prinsip yang sama pada spektroskopi. Hanya
saja pada metode spektrofotometri, panjang gelombang yang digunakan lebih spesifik untuk
panjang gelombang UV (Ultraviolet), visible, dan inframerah. Fungsi dari spektrofotometri
adalah untuk mempelajari sifat serapan suatu larutan terhadap variasi panjang gelombang
Komponen penting untuk menganalisis senyawa dengan metode spektrofotometri
adalah gugus kromofor, yaitu gugus fungsional yang mengabsorpsi radiasi UV dan tampak,
jika mereka diikat oleh senyawa-senyawa buka pengabsropsi (auksokrom). Hampir semua
kromofor mempunyai ikatan rangkap berkonjugasi (diena C=C-C=C), dienon (C=C-C=O),
Benzena, dll. Komponen lainnya adalah gugus auksokrom, yaitu gugus fungsional seperti –
OH, -NH2, NO2, -X yaitu gugus yang mempunyai elektron nonbonding dan tidak
mengabsorpsi radiasi UV jauh. Berdasarkan panjang gelombangnya, spektrofotometer UV-Vis
dibagi menjadi 2:
 Sinar tampak/visible (λ 380 nm – 780 nm)
Sumber cahaya merupakan lampu Tungsten/Wolfram. Namun kelemahannya adalah
hanya dapat menganalisis sample berwarna, oleh karena itu sample tidak berwarna
harus diberi warna terlebih dahulu menggunakan reagent spesifik. Contoh aplikasinya
adalah analisis kadar protein terlarut (tidak berwarna) menggunakan reagent folin.
Contoh zat lain yang dapat dianalisis dengan spektrofotometri visible adalah niasin,
kobalamin, piridoksin.
 Sinar UV (ultraviolet) (λ 190 nm – 380 nm)

2
Sumber cahaya merupakan lampu deuterium. Sinar UV apat diserap oleh senyawa yang
tidak memiliki warna (bening dan transparan) dan tidak memperlukan reagent tertentu.
Apabila analit keruh, analit dapat dibuat jernih dengan filtrasi dan sentrifugasi. Selain
itu, sampel harus larut sempurna dalam pelarut agar bisa dianalisis dengan
spektrofotometri UV.

2.2 Salep Mata Kloramfenikol


Salep adalah sediaan setengah padat yang mudah dioleskan dan digunakan sebagai obat
luar. Bahan obatnya harus larut atau terdispersi homogen dalam dasar salep yang cocok. Basis
untuk suatu salep mata harus tidak mengiritasi mata dan memungkinkan difusi obat ke seluruh
mata yang dibasahi karena sekresi cairan mata. Basis salep yang dimanfaatkan untuk salep
mata harus memiliki titik lebur mendekati suhu tubuh. Dalam beberapa hal campuran dari
petrolatum dan cairan petrolatum (minyak mineral) dimanfaatkan sebagai dasar salep mata.
Kadang-kadang zat yang bercampur dengan air seperti lanolin ditambahkan untuk
memungkinkan air dan obat yang tidak larut dalam air bertahan selama system penyampaian.
Obat atau bahan obat yang ditambahkan ke dalam dasar salep berbentuk larutan atau serbuk
halus. Salep mata harus bebas dari partikel dan harus memenuhi syarat kebocoran sesuai
ketentuan Farmakope Indonesia.
Kloramfenikol adalah salah satu obat golongan antibiotik yang digunakan untuk
mengobati infeksi serius yang disebabkan oleh bakteri. Misalnya meningtis karena bakteri,
abses otak, infeksi bakteri anaerobik, gangren, antraks, ehrlichiosis, penyakit granuloma
inguinal, plak, listeriosis, psittacosis, Q-fever, gastroenteritis parah, melioidosis parah, infeksi
sistemik, infeksi mata (seperti konjungtivitis dan infeksi okular), infeksi telinga (seperti otitis
eksterna), dan kondisi lainnya. Salep mata kloramfenikol umumnya mengandung 1%
kloramfenikol basa. Salep mata kloramfenikol digunakan untuk mengobati infeksi yang terjadi
pada mata.

2.3 Prinsip Kerja

Gambar 2.1. Prinsip Kerja Spektrofotometri UV

Cahaya yang berasal dari lampu deuterium maupun wolfram yang bersifat polikromatis
di teruskan melalui lensa menuju ke monokromator pada spektrofotometer dan filter cahaya
pada fotometer. Monokromator kemudian akan mengubah cahaya polikromatis menjadi
cahaya monokromatis (tunggal). Berkas-berkas cahaya dengan panjang tertentu kemudian akan
dilewatkan pada sampel yang mengandung suatu zat dalam konsentrasi tertentu. Oleh karena
itu, terdapat cahaya yang diserap (diabsorbsi) dan ada pula yang dilewatkan. Cahaya yang
dilewatkan ini kemudian di terima oleh detector. Detector kemudian akan menghitung cahaya
yang diterima dan mengetahui cahaya yang diserap oleh sampel. Cahaya yang diserap
sebanding dengan konsentrasi zat yang terkandung dalam sampel sehingga akan diketahui
konsentrasi zat dalam sampel secara kuantitatif.

4.2 Pembahasan
4.2.1 Identifikasi
Identifikasi yang kami lakukan adalah identifikasi kedua atau identifikasi B,
identifikasi kedua adalah reaksi diazotasi dari kloramfenikol yang mempunyai gugus amin
sekunder. Adanya penambahan serbuk zink berfungsi untuk mereduksi gugus amin
sekunder menjadi gugus amin primer yang ditandai dengan terbentuknya warna merah.
Pada percobaan ini, dilakukan dua perlakuan berbeda, yang satu larutan filtrat diberikan
serbuk zink sedangkan yang satu lagi tidak diberikan serbuk zink. Dengan penambahan
serbuk zink, larutan tidak berubah warna menjadi merah dan tanpa ditambahkan dengan
serbuk zink, larutan juga tidak berubah warna menjadi merah tetapi menjadi kuning. Dari
hasil tersebut, disimpulkan bahwa gugus amin sekunder tidak tereduksi sempurna karena
faktor sediaan yang sudah kadaluarsa, kadaluarsa sediaan yaitu tahun 2013, identifikasi
dilakukan tahun 2017, sedangkan salep mata masa kadaluarsanya satu tahun dan salep
mata yang kami uji sudah lewat batas kadaluarsa selama 4 tahun. Apabila gugus amin
tereduksi seharusnya bila ditambahkan serbuk zink maka akan terbentuk warna merah dan
dengan reaksi identifikasi salep Kloramfenikol sebagai berikut.

4.2.2 Kurva Kalibrasi

Gambar 4.7 Struktur Kloramfenikol


Pada praktikum kali ini, konsentrasi Kloramfenikol dalam salep mata dapat
dianalisis dengan menggunakan spektrofotometri UV-Vis karena memiliki gugus kromofor
dan memberikan serapan pada 190-380 nm (UV) dan 380-900 (Vis). Pertama, praktikan
membuat larutan standar dengan konsentrasi 1000 ppm kemudian diencerkan menjadi 100
ppm. Blanko yang digunakan adalah aquadest. Panjang gelombang maksimum
Kloramfenikol yang diperoleh adalah 278,5 nm. Pada panjang gelombang maksimum, nilai
absorbansi-nya paling besar, artinya kapasitas sinar radiasi yang diserap paling banyak.
Selain itu, kurva yang dihasilkan juga kurva yang paling landai, sehingga dapat
meminimalisasi kesalahan dalam pembacaan.
Pada paraktikum kali ini, didapat konsentrasi 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, dan 25 ppm. Pada
konsentrasi 8 ppm memiliki serapan 0,38739, pada konsentrasi 10 ppm memiliki serapan
0,46234, pada konsentrasi 12 ppm memiliki serapan 0.51994, pada konsentrasi 15 ppm
memiliki serapan 0.59998, pada konsentrasi 20 ppm memiliki serapan 0.75547, dan pada
konsentrasi 25 ppm memiliki serapan 0.88331. Berdasarkan data tersebut, didapat kurva
kalibrasi dan persamaan regresinya. Kurva kalibrasi merupakan suatu grafik yang
membentuk grafik lurus (linier) yang menyatakan hubungan antara kadar larutan kerja

23
termasuk blanko dengan respon instrument. Pada praktikum kali ini, diperoleh r sebesar
0,999 yang artinya linier karena mendekati 1.
Hasil kurva kalibrasi mungkin saja kurang akurat, karena beberapa kesalahan yaitu
kurang teliti dalam pembuatan larutan serta pengenceran yang kurang sempurna, kuvet
yang kurang bersih, terjadinya serapan radiasi oleh sidik jari pada kuvet, sensitivitas alat,
adanya serapan oleh pelarut, adanya gelembung udara atau gas dalam lintasan radiasi
panjang gelombang, ataupun kurang teliti praktikan dalam pengamatan.

4.2.3 Presisi dan Akurasi


Verifikasi metode penetapan kadar yang dilakukan adalah uji akurasi dan presisi.
Uji akurasi dan presisi dilakukan pada konsentrasi 80%, 100%, dan 120%. Pengujian
keduanya dilakukan terhadap sampel simulasi salep kloramfenikol. Pada uji akurasi-
presisi, sampel simulasi salep yang diuji adalah sejumlah salep yang setara dengan 20 mg
kloramfenikol. Percobaan dilakukan dengan mengambil sampel dari salep 80% dan 120%,
masing-masing sebanyak 3 sampel, dan salep 100% sebanyak 6 sampel. Berat sampel
berturut-turut (80%, 100%, dan 120%) adalah 53 mg; 41,2 mg; dan 35,5 mg.

a. Presisi
Pada percobaan, dilakukan pengukuran standar deviasi (SD) dan koefisien variasi
(KV) dari hasil analisis yang telah diperoleh untuk setiap berat simulasi salep
kloramfenikol. Dimana, pada konsentrasi 80%, diperoleh standar deviasi sebesar 2,2856
dan KV sebesar 8,45%. Sedangkan pada konsentrasi 100% diperoleh SD sebesar 0,9215
dan KV sebesar 2,68%, dan pada konsentrasi 120% diperoleh SD sebesar 1,0065 dan KV
sebesar 2,19%.
Presisi adalah ukuran yang menunjukkan derajat kesesuaian antara hasil uji
individual, diukur melalui penyebaran hasil individual dari rata-rata jika prosedur
diterapkan secara berulang pada sampel-sampel yang diambil dari campuran yang
homogen (Harmita, 2004). Syarat suatu data dinyatakan presisi adalah jika nilai KV ≤
2%. Jika dilihat dari nilai KV yang diperoleh dari masing-masing konsentrasi, maka dapat
dikatakan bahwa ketiga hasil tersebut tidak memenuhi syarat presisi.

b. Akurasi
Akurasi (kecermatan) merupakan ukuran yang menunjukkan derajat kedekatan
hasil penetapan analisis dengan hasil sebenarnya. Uji akurasi dimaksudkan untuk

24
menjamin ketepatan atau keakuratan sebuah metode pengujian maupun kalibrasi
sehingga mampu menghasilkan data yang valid. Uji akurasi dapat dilakukan dengan dua
cara, yaitu metode simulasi dan metode penambahan baku (adisi). Metode simulasi
dilakukan dengan membuat sampel plasebo lalu ditambahkan analit dengan konsentrasi
tertentu dari kadar analit yang diperkirakan, kemudian dianalisis dengan metode yang
akan diverifikasi. Sedangkan metode adisi dilakukan dengan menambahkan sejumlah
analit dengan konsentrasi tertentu pada sampel, lalu dianalisis dengan metode yang akan
diverifikasi.
Pada uji akurasi ini, dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode simulasi, yakni
dengan membuat sampel simulasi salep kloramfenikol pada kadar 80%, 100%, dan
120%, dibuat dengan menambahkan sejumlah analit bahan murni ke dalam campuran
bahan pembawa sediaan (plasebo) kemudian campuran tersebut dianalisis dan hasil yang
diperoleh dibandingkan dengan kadar analit yang ditambahkan (kadar sebenarnya). Hasil
akurasi dapat ditentukan melalui nilai % recovery atau unit perolehan kembali (UPK).
Pertama-tama dilakukan pengujian secara triplo pada konsentrasi 80% dan %UPK
yang diperoleh secara berturut-turut adalah 27,66%; 28,98%; dan 24,53% sehingga nilai
rata-rata UPK yang diperoleh yaitu 27,06%. Selanjutnya pengujian akurasi dilakukan
pada konsentrasi 100% sebanyak 6 kali. Hasil %UPK yang diperoleh berturut-turut
adalah 34,19%; 34,50%; 35,94%; 33,06%; 34,44%; dan 34,25%. Dari hasil tersebut,
diperoleh rata-rata UPK sebesar 34,40%. Terakhir pengujian akurasi dilakukan pada
konsentrasi 120% secara triplo dengan hasil %UPK berturut-turut 44,95%, 45,47%, dan
47,29%. Dari ketiga hasil ini diperoleh rata-rata %UPK yaitu 45,90%.

Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan tersebut, diketahui ketiga uji pada sampel simulasi
salep kloramfenikol (kadar 80%, 100%, dan 120%) tidak ada yang memenuhi persyaratan
akurasi (syarat penerimaan % recovery yaitu 95,0–105,0%) maupun presisi. Perolehan
hasil % recovery dan juga %KV sangat jauh menyimpang dari persyaratan penerimaan
yang kemungkinan dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa hal:
- Sediaan sampel salep yang diterima oleh praktikan sudah kadaluarsa, bahkan sangat
melebihi waktu kadaluarsa yang telah ditentukan dan tertera pada etiket (sudah lewat
batas kadaluarsa selama 4 tahun);
- Kesalahan dalam melakukan pengenceran;

25
- Kesalahan praktikan dalam membuat sampel simulasi salep (kemungkinan akibat
ketidaktepatan perbandingan antara zat aktif dengan basis);
- Kesalahan saat proses preparasi sampel, seperti kontaminasi saat proses preparasi
dan kurang lamanya pengocokan saat ekstraksi dalam corong pisah, sehingga hal-
hal tersebut memungkinkan dapat memicu pada ketidakakuratan metode yang
dilakukan.

4.2.4 Penetapan Kadar Kloramfenikol dalam Salep Mata


Dari kadar yang didapat berdasarkan serapan dan kadar dari pengenceran dapat
dibandingkan untuk mengetahui kesesuaian kadar. Dari perhitungan, didapatkan
kesesuaian kadar sebesar 57%; 62,7%; dan 62,7%. Dari perhitungan, didapatkan standar
deviasinya adalah 3,9 dan persen koefisien variasinya adalah 54,1%. Dengan mengacu
pada syarat presisi yaitu KV ≤ 2%, maka hasil penetapan kadar tidak menunjukkan presisi.
Hasil percobaan ini mungkin saja kurang akurat, yang disebabkan karena
terjadinya kesalahan pada percobaan. Kesalahan yang mungkin terjadi pada percobaan ini
yaitu kekurang telitian dalam pembuatan larutan serta pengenceran yang kurang
sempurna, terjadinya serapan radiasi oleh sidik jari pada kuvet, sensitivitas alat, kuvet
yang kurang bersih, adanya serapan oleh pelarut, kuvet tergores, adanya gelembung udara
atau gas dalam lintasan radiasi panjang gelombang, ekstraksi yang belum sempurna
ataupun kekurangtelitian praktikan dalam pengamatan.

Praktikan berharap untuk praktikum penetapan kadar kloramfenikol dalam sediaan
salep dengan metode spektrofotometri berikutnya diperhatikan hal-hal seperti memastikan
alat yang digunankan sedang dalam keadaan bai, memastikan bahan yang digunakan tidak
kadaluwarsa, dan perhatikan pula waktu eksraksi agar sampel dapat terekstraksi dari
matriksnya.

Products of Biodegradation:
Possibly hazardous short term degradation products are not likely. However, long term degradation products may arise.
Toxicity of the Products of Biodegradation: The products of degradation are less toxic than the product itself.
Special Remarks on the Products of Biodegradation:
Methanol in water is rapidly biodegraded and volatilized. Aquatic hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis, adsorption to sediment, and
bioconcentration are not significant fate processes. The half-life of methanol in surfact water ranges from 24 hrs. to 168 hrs.
Based on its vapor pressure, methanol exists almost entirely in the vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere. It is degraded by
reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals and has an estimated half-life of 17.8 days. Methanol is physically
removed from air by rain due to its solubility. Methanol can react with NO2 in pollulted to form methyl nitrate. The half-life of
methanol in air ranges from 71 hrs. (3 days) to 713 hrs. (29.7 days) based on photooxidation half-life in air.

Special Remarks on Fire Hazards:
Zinc + NaOH causes ignition. Oxidation of zinc by potassium proceeds with incandescence. Residues from zinc dust /acetic
acid reduction operations may ignite after long delay if discarded into waste bins with paper. Incandescent reaction when Zinc
and Arsenic or Tellurium, or Selenium are combined. When hydrazine mononitrate is heated in contact with zinc, a flamming
decomposition occurs at temperatures a little above its melting point. Contact with acids and alkali hydroxides (sodium
hydroxide, postasium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, etc.) results in evolution of hydrogen with sufficient heat of reaction to
ignite the hydrogen gas. Zinc foil ignites if traces of moisture are present. It is water reactive and produces flammable gases
on contact with water. It may ignite on contact with water or moist air.
